The Art of Balance Summer Series
with Danielle
* ATTEND ONE or ALL THREE SESSIONS.
The Art of Balance series is designed to change your mind about balancing on your hands and forearms.
Arm balances allow us to develop a deeper connection to our body by building trust and overcoming fear, and they’re just fun.
This instructional series will focus on alignment and technique by breaking down the mechanics of each pose. You will learn step by step ways to enter each pose, creative modifications, and how to use props to help make arm balances more accessible in your practice.
Arm balances are progressive in nature, with one pose often being the foundation for another.
Balance is not something you find, it’s something you create.
Arm balance experience is not required to attend this series. It is welcome to beginners and experienced yogis who are thirsty for knowledge and the opportunity to challenge themselves.
FRIDAY JUNE 14TH: Flying Scissors & Flying Pigeon
Often both of these arm balances are a popular transition from 3 Legged Dog. Learn how to lift and extend the legs to help you float and balance like a seesaw on your arms. You will tap into the deep abdominal muscles to help understand their importance in lifting the back leg in both poses, while integrating the arms and back muscles to create balance in the body.
FRIDAY, JULY 19TH: Crow
The gateway arm balance. Learn the abc’s of Crow, Baby Crow and Side Crow. You will be introduced to different variations and transitions into the poses. Learn to build strength in your abdominals to help lift you up, while also learning to increase mobility in your hips. You will further learn fundamental strength building techniques for you arms, shoulders and back muscles to create a foundation for other arm balances.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 16TH: Crow Transitions
So many postures are accessible from Crow, & once you start to learn them the possibilities for more transitions are endless. Learn to shoot your legs back into Chaturanga while maintaining stability in your pelvis. Move into the Tripod Headstand using your shoulder & arm strength. Flying Scissors from Crow…yes. Learn to use your core, shoulder & back strength to switch your legs in the air.
